Are there current developments Ingo> on this topic ? a while ago i thought about trying to generate an xml representation of the portage "database" i thought it would be cool to have it as xml cause then we could use it for various purposes it would include the entire portage tree and the database with extra bits to say wether a package was installed and when it was installed its only an idea right now but i dont think it would be too tricky to do i would write it in perl but thats what i am good at and perl has some nifty XML modules anyone else interested in this ?? -- XEmacs Advocate | Do not try the patience of Wizards, Gentoo Developer | for they are subtle and quick to anger.
